April 19, 2022 – The fallout from Monday's decision by a federal judge to lift mask mandates on airplanes, trains, and buses was applauded by some travelers and members of the public, while others expressed concern that the move would drive more infections as case numbers are already rising in many areas across the U.S.
"About 2 hours in, the pilot came on and said Delta had dropped the mandate, and there was a cheer from many. I would say 80% of the plane took them off, including most of the crew. I twirled mine on my finger over my head in celebration,” he says."I think it is unfortunate," says Bruce Hirsch, MD."I believe this is occurring when cases are increasing and we still have 39,000 COVID cases per day, and many cases we are not seeing counted because of home testing.
Segreti, medical director of infection control and prevention at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, says he’ll continue to wear a mask when he flies.
